Recent reports indicate Enzo “tkzin” Zimiani has reached a verbal agreement to remain with LOUD for the 2027 VCT season after receiving offers from MIBR and KRÜ Esports. The Brazilian duelist contributed to LOUD’s VALORANT Champions 2026 title during his loan from KRÜ, posting strong ACS and opening-kill metrics that elevated the roster. A farewell post from LOUD preceded the update, yet the reported acceptance of their offer has driven trader consensus toward a 73% implied probability for the defending champions. Contract disputes with KRÜ and interest from other VCT Americas sides keep secondary options like Cloud9, MIBR, and G2 Esports in play, though at lower probabilities reflecting the preference for continuity with the world-title roster.
This market will resolve to the next team tkzin officially joins by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. If tkzin does not officially join a new team by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "LOUD". If tkzin joins a team that is not listed, this market will resolve to "Other". If tkzin is released, retires, or is not under contract with any professional team by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". For the purposes of this market, tkzin's current loan to LOUD counts as playing for LOUD. An extension of that loan, or a permanent transfer to LOUD, will not count as joining a new team. A return to the team that owns his contract at the end of the loan will count as joining that team. An official signing announcement prior to the market’s close date will immediately resolve this market to the corresponding option. The primary resolution sources for this market will be official announcements from LOUD and/or the acquiring team. A consensus of credible media reporting may also be used to resolve the market.
